I want those in it. They are 20 inches. Other than that I'm kind of stumpped on what else I want to do. Ideas? Perhaps I could make my own version of a lowrider.

A low rider would certainly work. How much would these set you back?

They are 30$ For everything else I might check out the local bike salvage store and craig's list.

This is a really rough idea. I'm not exactly sure what style frame I want to use. Left=bmx, right= road. My worry for a road frame would be the whole thing would be a giant.

I have to say I like the long lines of the BMX bike version--but I am definitely not the person to ask on how to make these things work!

$30 isn't bad for the wheels. This is going to be a FG/SS?

Yes. I was thinking BMX as well because it is more convenient.

They are 30$.

Some things come right back at you! Radial spoke wheels were on Easy Racer since the mid-1970s. I bought ONE 20" thin racing wheel with radial spokes for $80., but that was in 1980, then a few years later I bought an Easy RacerTour Easy 20" wider radial spoked wheel for $50.

Nowdays Quickie wheelchairs also adopted radial spokes in their 24" wheels. $30. for TWO rims is low. Terrific deal! I still have my old rims since I do not have the heart to sell something I might use someday.

So, Fuzzbox, have you gotten any further, or are you still mulling?

Nothing yet. I might start Friday/Saturday. I might not get the wheels since it has been a while he might of sold them already.

Those are good strong wheels, though they are just a little heavy. I've got one hanging from the rafters at the moment awaiting inspiration as to what to do with it.
